Types of Family Visas

Family visas are primarily based around a sponsorship by a relative who is a lawful permanent U.S. resident. The resident can sponsor an immigrant after demonstrating the ability to support the immigrating family member.

Below are some examples of common family visa recipients, and the relatives who sponsor them.

Spouse of a U.S. Citizen

A spouse is defined by the government as a legally wedded husband or wife.

Unmarried Child Under 21 Years of Age of a U.S. Citizen
